A UID is a globally unique identifier consisting of a 32-bit number. Symbian +platform makes extensive use of UIDs to provide lightweight identification +of file types.

+

To guarantee uniqueness, all UIDs are assigned to developers centrally +by Symbian. For testing and development, a well known range of public UIDs +can be used, but these must not be used for general release. To generate UIDs +for use in programs, developers must contact Symbian.

+

The TUid, TUidType and TCheckedUid classes +provide the mechanism for creating and manipulating (e.g. comparing) UIDs +within programs.
